The quality assurance and the verification of 3D Models in each step of the development process of complex products is essential for a seamless collaboration. With the innovative conversion and visualization tools of the German-French software developer, CT Core Technologie, it is now possible to save the results of complex DMU analysis such as collision detection of assemblies, the comparison of models as well as wall thickness and draft checks into a simple 3D PDF file which then can be opened and viewed with a free Acrobat Reader.
With the conversion software named "3D Evolution" and the analysis tool "3D Analyzer" from CT Core Technologie it is now possible to enrich information in all major CAD data formats and convert them into a PDF document. The free 3D PDF reader and the benefits of professional 3D technology can be useful for all stakeholders in the development process. Designers, tool makers, engineers, material buyers, buyers, project managers and partners for whom it is necessary to have access to 3D content, can easily access large amounts of data for synchronisation changes and sharing of analysis results. This system is so simple that even non-experts can get on with it and the program "Acrobat Reader" is so common that every owner of a windows computer can make use of it.
With the annotation tool from the "3D Analyzer Viewer" program, one can add features such as 3D annotations, dimensions and exploded views of various CAD formats quickly and easily. Through the included analysis application, it can compare models and save the results with colored variances in a PDF format. With these 3D graphics, even complex problems are easy to understand. Changes in the development process of all native models are immediately recognizable by colored variations and thus changes need not be tediously documented by numerous screenshots. In addition, the time consumption for the creation of 2D documentation on 3D data is not the state of the art anymore today.
The analysis tool of "3D Analyzer" also includes distance and angle measurement, notices, coordinate systems, bounding boxes with length information and surface area calculations. The 3D Analyzer program offers comparison of 3D geometry such as parts and assemblies, collision detection - between parts and assemblies, of wall thickness, draft check and undercut analysis.
The free PDF reader is already installed on millions of computers and is in daily use on workstations, laptops and tablets while the PDF format is very compressed and lightweight. So it is possible to open large assemblies easily or to send them via e-mail. The "Core Technologie" software suite is thus a viewing and conversion toolset that guarantees an optimal communication of 3D content.
